    Personally, I'm most looking forward to Snape's scene.

    And Neville's.
    You're probably right. JKR said she had done that scene to show off Mrs. W as more than just a loving doting mother, and I believe she said (I don't recall it in the books) that she was suppossed to be a a very strong witch, stronger than Mr. W, and after all she had been in the Order before.

    And yes, very much looking forward to Snape's scene. I hope they do it justice and makeup for the lack of Snape in HBP
  3. hah...I can't believe it, I forgot my Katana/FA scrapper...Razorblade Lipstick...oh how I loved that concept Haven't played her since the changes to Fire Armor, I have no doubt she'd be more awesome now!

    I figured that was one of the scenes they just couldn't leave out of the movie. I read that and was all "BETTER...BE IN...THE MOVIE!!!"
  5. There's also Traps to go with! That gives you enemy debuffs and ally buffs which buff you as well (mez protection is always nice).

    Trick Arrow...come on...Oil Slick lighted on fire! What's not to love?

    Cold Domination is awesome! You'll be late game for the debuffs however, and you may feel like a buff bot, depending on if you think buffing your team (never buff an entire league) is to much for you.

    My suggestion to pair with Archery...Traps or Trick Arrow.

    I'm sure I'll beable to make use of one or two parts. Possible new jackets could be made of use for my Fire/Dark Corr, if they work with the female build. But if they're limited to male builds (like the baron jacket) not so much.

    I'll be buying it for sure. I bought the cyborg booster, and I only make constant use of the belt out of it.

    Spines/WP

    Yup.

    So far on my Spines/ELA, it's looking to be doing okay once I get it all IOed out. 2 Damage auras, the ability to chain the previously mentioned Spines only chain...tough single targets shouldn't be any more of a problem than my DB/WP and the Spines will have better AOE.
  8. Claws/Regen (1st 50), Katana/Regen (2nd 50), MA/Regen, DB/WP (3rd 50 and currently namesake), MA/WP, FM/WP, DB/SR, DM/SR, Spines/DA (4th 50), ELM/FA, and MA/Shield!

    Out of 30 level 50's (at least one of every AT except the two HEATS), and a Spines/ELA working it's way up, seeing as how over 1/3 of my 50's are Scrappers, yeah, I'd say Scrappers are the best AT

    And now with the Vanguard Pack, I'm making a new Claws/ Scrapper! \o/

    Some of that list are actually me still trying to find the perfect fit for my namesake!

    *Glares at the Devs* Give me /Ninjitsu already! I want a Agile/Regen feeling scrapper! GIVE IT TO ME!

    I remember my first created character was a Claws/DA Scrapper. Back in i3, Winter Event was going full swing. I knew I had screwed up my power choices/slotting something FIERCE, and that's what brought me to the forums.

    Been a fun ride and doesn't look to stop.

    I continue to love Scrappers more than any AT. They always have that perfect comicbook superhero feel to me!
  9. I'd like to see the time between spawns sped up at the very least.
  10. I don't why the hate. All I see is summer action movie goodness! \o/

    I'm baout here with the Steampunk. Less thinking ugly and clunky, and more of just not my style for superheroes.

    That said, I imagine alot of new Assault Rifle users coming to the three cities.

    Power Proliferation and a Martial Arts Secondary (you know, I did suggest one, that seemed to go over pretty well if memory serves Just saying) for Blasters is what I hope more for.

    These are also things more likely to get people away from their 50s (when I say this, I have nothing against all the 50 content) and into some new toons.

    *crosses fingers for Ninja Scrappers*
  13. Well, Spiritual has the benefit of giving some added +RCH when faced against -RCH. Also the +Heal helps regen and +HP.

    Masculation gives more damage.

    I'd stick between those two and decide which you want. I went Spiritual on my DB/WP and don't regret it.

    Untill Judgement power, which gets benefit out of Masculation but not Spiritual!

    Well for late build, you'd want to get to Impale -> Ripper -> Throw Spines for the best DPS (using just Spine attacks)

    As is typically the case, D_R's stuff will likely wind up smoking this, too.
    I'd say DR has a bit more working room than those writing the game stories have.

    I'm still hoping Part 2 will in some way vindicate Part 1 and make the product as a whole seem more worthwhile.
    Hmmm...I'll have to rewatch it I don't recall it being terrible, though I guess I can see it as seeming slow, more so because that part of the book was rather slow, and I thought the movie sped it up nicely.

    Well...if you stick to normal resists and let's say 45% Defense with one target for a DM/INV Brute with no outside buffs.

    200% Regen, you're right, is awesome! However, Dull Pain is already putting you at cap Hit Points, and Siphon Life is continuing to heal you.

    Regen will let you recover from the hits you take...90% Resists and pushing your defense for the harder targets (which require 59% defense if I remember correctly)...you have a need to regen less.

    Sometimes, you just have to go with the really pretty visual effects over anything else!

    Wow. I felt Half-Blood Prince felt like the worst one, but maybe that's because I felt it deviated from the books the most, and didn't really get into the Half-Blood Prince at all. :/

    Agreed! Kill Aunt May already! Also hook Peter Parker and Felicia Hardy up! Spider-Man and Black-Cat! GO!!!
  22. Where's his best buddy Bruce Wayne to tell him how stupid this is?

    Really, this sounds like their way to get ready for the new Superman movie, so they can forget all about Superman being America's Superhero.

    Superman has always gone out to save the world, or just save people from other countries. So they should already know where Superman stands.
